A folding-type cellular phone 100 is configured to include an upper housing 3 which has a display section 2, a lower housing 5 which has a manipulation section 4, and a hinge section 6 which connects the upper housing 3 and the lower housing 5 to each other so as to fold and unfold the housings relative to each other. Moreover, the folding-type cellular phone 100 is provided with a button 7 for unfolding the upper housing 3 relative to the lower housing 5 up to a extent that the lower housing 5 can be manipulated.
